♥ A Mayonnaise Jar And Two Cups Of Coffee.
I got this e-mail from my friend years ago. It's pretty meaningful =)
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.
When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with an unanimous "yes."
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
"Now," said the professor as the laughter subsided, "I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.
The sand is everything else---the small stuff. "If you put the sand into the jar first," he continued, "there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.
"Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents.. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18. There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand."
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented. The professor smiled and said, "I'm glad you asked." The coffee just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend." Please share this with someone you care about..

♥ Grown Up stuff i need to do/not to do
I wish I'll grow up.
I'm so immature,I like toys ( stuff animals ). Well.. i'm not sure if it cause i'm a girl or what. Eeyore and Tigger to me are so damn cute. I laugh at Spongebob's lame jokes like an idiot, i dunno if i do have a sense of humor.
At home, I bump into alot of things in the house. Making my side, toes, hand, elbow and probably anything that's bony and sticks out blue-black. I rush to do things and end up falling, twist muscles and ligaments and more blue-blacks.
I like hiding around corner to scare people. Seeing their bewildered expressions and shouts of surprise. I fact, i'll do everything i can just to see that face, even if it means crawling in a tight spot or standing still for a while.
And food, I'm always being picky about my food, not eating chili cause it makes my stomach bloated. Sour stuff that makes my face twist, like sour skittles and ice-cream. Coffee and tea taste bitter to my tongue. I spill my food and drinks more than any member of my family.
I hate smells, like my dad's perfume, I prefer flowers. I can hardly keep my balance right in school shoes and you want me to walk in High-Heels? i think if there's an emergency how are the ppls in high-heels gonna run away...zzz.
I'm scared of horror movies, like a little kid i'm imagining all the nonsense and scare myself to death. In fact i close my eyes when i see a horror movie advertisement. So horray..wheeee..... I really hate this.
And damn i cry pretty easily =( and for the stupidest things like falling from the stairs that day and when sammy and friends helped me i feel so >__<. like i wanna bury my face freak it was embarrasingg cause i'm so so so so stupid running down the stairs freak.. It's not that i'm not grateful lol but i feel so stupid for doing that. Not your fault so don't think of it that way!
I don't act actually my age. I'm freaking 16 man. and i still don't like coffee =(. what am i gonna do if i don't grow out of these things zzzz... I'm not sure if i'll live well alone if i go abroad or something >_< Well hope my puberty gland starts working
